Abstract
A prediction model for residual strength of stiffened panels with multiple site damage based on artificial neural network (ANN) is developed, and the results obtained from the trained BP model are compared to the analytical and experimental data available in the literature. The results obtained indicate that the neural network model predictions are in the best agreement with the experimental data than any other methods, and the modified linkup models predict better than the linkup model proposed by Swift. In the end several simulations are carried out to predict the trends with varying input parameters. The results show that the residual strength decreases linearly as the half-crack length of lead crack increases and increases linearly as the ligament length increases for both kinds of stiffened panels, but the one-bay stiffened panels are more sensitive to the change than the two-bay stiffened panels.
